    whats up rakich... Big fan checking in.


    I'm torn apart on making a decision and would GREATLY appreciate your advice/insight.

    Hope this is not against ur thread rules...

    So im 153 lbs at 5'6... And wondering whether i should keep bulking up or start cutting. Only reason thats stopping me from cutting i feel like i'm too small to cut and would look small again if i do so.







    Do u think i'd lose alot of size if i cut? or would the "ripped" delusion make me look just as big?

    I'm hasty about cutting because i want to look good for spring break which is in early march.

    Should i cut or keep bulking?

    Thanks my man.

    Nah man, no rules in this thread hahaha!

    If you are currently cutting at the moment then continue cutting until you get to your goal body fat percentage, don't worry about being "too small" just get lean first then start on a fresh lean bulk and pack on some mass. This is what I would personally do anyway..

    Hi Josef, I'm really interested- in all of your pictures, none of them ever show you looking a little 'soft'. Did you seriously just clean bulk your way to being a shredded 180lbs? Without gaining much fat? Or did you bulk and cut?

    Also, insane physique man! Have you got any sponsorships yet?

    Thanks!

    Hey bro... was checking out your transformations page (amazing)... the Liam Blake guy has a "similar" starting physique to me (although he's prob 20-25slbs thicker)... would appreciate any advice. Did he bulk first? What worked? Would he be available as a referral?

    Yup Liam has had an awesome transformation so far! Nope he just went straight onto a cut, he had the muscle he was just covering it up with body fat.

    is it true that some routines differ than others in maintaining muscle mass while cutting?

    not to take away from you're physique at all, but you really compared yourself now (a grown ass man) to your kid pictures? lol! that's just exaggerating your results because of course you were naturally going to grow a lot bigger as you were just starting to go through puberty.


    THAT BEING SAID, incredible body. keep up the good work. mirin big time (NH) REPPED!

    Hey bro, I wanted to ask ya what your opinion is on 5x5 and 3x8? For muscle mass I have heard that hypertrophy can't be obtained with 5x5 and is designed for strength.


    Are you a strong believer in compound movements over isolation?

    I first joined the gym in 2008 but didn't really start training properly or following a good diet until some months later.. Once I got my training and diet on track the transformation took off and I started noticing some good gains. I have since helped hundreds of other people world wide achieve amazing jaw-dropping results through my Online Personal Training Services! I am posting my transformation up here because I want to show everyone what can be achieved if you give everything 100% and stay dedicated and consistent with what you do!

    Transforming your physique whether it be from skinny to jacked or fat to completely ripped, is just an amazing feeling that cannot be matched!

    Here is my own transformation from 2008-2011/2012


    For all of my transformation pics you can click the link below:
    you. are. my inspiration. amazing. truly an amazing story. thank you, my child.

    You going to look awesome after a cut man! Arms are massive!

    Keep up the good work! its hard to say what weight you will be at in the end of you cut, the only way to find out is to diet I guess.

    Whatsup Josef!

    Big fan here who looks up to you! I started lifting 6 months ago and gained quite a bit (still quite small tho). I want to seriously bulk, yet not gain to much fat, I'm currently on a 4500 caloric intake a day. Do you think this is to much? Or do I need more? Thanks in advance and here is my transformation so far, maybe you can give me some heads up on musclegroups to focus on!

    Cheers mate!
